Meet doctors for the whole family at NCH Medical Group open house in Schaumburg

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. (March 7, 2013) -- Northwest Community Healthcare's Medical Group is hosting an open house event at its newest location, 455 S. Roselle Road in Schaumburg, on Saturday, March 16, from noon to 3 p.m. The new office opened in early February with two family practice physicians, who treat patients from pediatric through senior ages, and one internal medicine physician, who treats patients 14 years of age and older.

Guests attending the open house can meet family practice physicians Aimeelee Valeroso, MD, and Alan Kanter, MD, internal medicine physician Ajay Jain, MD, and office staff.

"Opening our new NCH Medical Group office with easy access to Immediate Care, Imaging, Lab and Physical Rehabilitation service all within the same medical complex area offers patients convenient and coordinated care. Electronic medical records for every family member are housed at their NCH Medical Group physician's office, accessible by Immediate Care Center physicians for treatment before or after the physician's office hours. And if hospitalization is required, our NCH Medical Group hospitalist physicians also have access to the same electronic medical records," said Michael Hartke, Executive Vice President, Systems Operations, Northwest Community Healthcare.

The open house event also will feature activities and food for the entire family. There will be balloon twisting, free hot dogs, ice cream and refreshments.
